Industrial Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are a rugged and reliable way to track and document products as they move through the manufacturing process. Unlike the bar code systems used for similar, less demanding applications, industrial RFID systems are designed to withstand harsh environments. Plus, reusable read/write tags allow for flexibility in information and application. ISO 15693 ICODE is an open standard for high-frequency 13.56 MHz RFID. ICODE Tags are lower cost and available from multiple manufacturers in many different styles, physical sizes and memory sizes to fit most applications. Benefits of RFID Production efficiency detailed tracking available of who, when, where and what was done to build products Preprogrammed batches tags identify which recipe to load automatically, reducing errors Data storage tags can retain data that can be modified by the control system Great in harsh environments unlike bar codes, tags can handle rugged environments Tags are reusable write over them and alter information (data retention for 10 years and 100,000 write cycles) Faster processing of products read/write up to 4 tags within transceiver field Tag does not need to be seen can be read inside cases, boxes, or other containers APPLICATIONS Automotive Packaging AGV Pharmaceutical Tags identify door color, type and storage location. Track product through production process. Tags embedded in the floor to guide unmanned vehicle through building. Track drugs via tray through process for traceability, accuracy and warranty.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 High Frequency RFID products are typically used in industrial applications to follow a product through the manufacturing process. The transceiver to tag range is typically less than 8 inches (200 mm). ICODE technology is advantageous because the tags are available from numerous suppliers in an infinite number of physical packages. An application can track the process via the tag either by storing the data directly on the tag or linking the UID (unique identifier) to data in a server. In high-speed applications (> 1.5m/s), it is recommended to read only the UID into the PLC. If the tags are used on multiple machines that do not communicate with each other, then the data is usually stored on the tag. By storing all the data on the tag, the data will be saved through power cycle events on the machine as well. There are several specialty tags available within our portfolio: Security Privacy protection Extreme temperatures Allen Bradley offers label tags, smart cards, disc tags, and square tags, as well as tags for specialty applications such as high impact and mounting on metal. tags are most commonly used in high-frequency industrial RFID applications. These high-memory tags are ideal for applications where the tags move throughout the facility on machines that are not communicating with each other. This section helps determine the recommended transceiver for your application. If you have a high-speed application, it is best to choose the largest transceiver which will provide the largest antenna range. This will provide the longest time the tag is in the field for read/write functions. This will also help when tag misalignment occurs. If your tag will be stopped when all read/write functions occur and tag misalignment is not an issue, smaller transceivers can be used. The larger the transceiver, the larger the antenna field. This typically also correlates to the physical size of the tag. For a larger transceiver, a larger tag is recommended. Conversely, a small transceiver warrants a physically smaller tag.
